I have several Redfield scopes mounted on rifles from the mid 70's, a 6x18 AO on a 220 swift,3x9 widefields (2 mounted on win 100's in .243 and .308), an accutrac 3x9 and a 2x7 on a 22mag. all are clear as the day they came out of the boxes(that I threw away). One of the 3x9 widefields has gone foggy,looking thru the obj lens it looks as if the 2nd glass has got some sort of condensation circles that have dried? Im wondering if some sort of seal has maybe let go. I guess my question is can anyone clean,reseal and purge with nitrogen.very best

    Thank you! Ive gotem' bookmarked and will give em a call first AM, a few weeks ago someone went to this site while trying to explain to me how to use the accu-trac scope as I had forgotten,( I think its called halftimers)how it worked ,I do remember talking my dad into buying it and mounting it on his .243... he never used the rangfinder but killed a cow trailer full of whitetails with the rig,any time you got in his truck and the rifle was between you his first words were "dont mess with my scope!" LOL
